Calc Brand New Animal - Golden doggo goes awooooo

Calculations

Alan's attack devastates a stadium. Take a note that the poduims are solid structures, so to get them to shift as they did would take a great amount of energy. Let's scale the size of the stadium from the stepsps. An outside step is on average 11 inches tall, or 27.94cm.

On average, American architects have used a standard stair height of 7.5 inches. On stairs built inside, the average step length is 9 inches tall, while outside steps have an average length of 11 inches tall.
22 pixels = 27.94cm
1 pixel = 27.94cm/22 = 1.27cm
1.27cm X 1009 = 1281.43cm
1.27cm X 385 = 488.95cm
1.27cm X 270 = 342.9cm
87 pixels = 1281.43cm
1 pixel = 1281.43cm/87 = 14.7290805cm
14.7290805cm X 58 = 854.286669cm
14.7290805cm X 117 = 1723.30242cm
14.7290805cm X 154 = 2268.2784cm

Volume of that area as an irregular trapezium, which we'll find by finding the area of a rectangle and a triangle.

A = lh
= 2268.2784 X 854.286669
= 1937760cm^2

H = 1281.43cm - 854.286669cm
= 427.143331cm

A = ab/2
= 2268.2784 X 427.143331/2
= 484439.996cm^2

A = 1937760 + 484439.996
= 2422200cm^2

Now we have that, to find the width of each section as well as the distance they moved.
1.27cm X 1037 = 1316.99cm
1.27cm X 794 = 1008.38cm
1.27cm X 65 = 82.55cm
1.27cm X 231 = 293.37cm

We'll find the volume of both as trapezoidal prisms.

V = Ah
= 2422200 X 1008.38
= 2442498036cm^3
= 2442.498036m^3

V = Ah
= 2422200 X 1316.99
= 3190013178cm^3
= 3190.013178m^3

There's also the seats themselves to take into acount, but given there's another podium being moved and the ground itself, it would cover that. Next up, the distance moved.

L = 488.95cm - 293.37cm
= 195.58cm

L = 342.9cm - 82.55cm
= 260.35cm

Concrete weighs about 2.4 tonnes for each cubic metre, which is 2400kg.

M = 2442.498036 X 2400kg
= 5861995.29kg

M = 3190.013178 X 2400kg
= 7656031.63kg

Now we've gotten all that out of the way, we get to the easy part; the timeframe.

Timeframe is 5 frames.

T = 1s/24
= 41.6666667ms X 5
= 0.208333333s

With all that out of the way, we can finally get to our kinetic energy!

T = 195.58cm/0.208333333s
= 9.38784002m/s

KE = (0.5)mv^2
= (0.5) X 5861995.29 X 9.38784002^2
= 258313337 joules

T = 260.35cm/0.208333333s
= 12.4968m/s

KE = (0.5)mv^2
= (0.5) X 7656031.63 X 12.4968^2
= 597821269 joules

E = 258313337 + 597821269
= 856134606 joules
= 0.20462108174 tons of TNT

Final Results
Alan devastates a stadium = > 0.205 tons of TNT


Keep in mind too there was another podium, so ultimately this would be even higher.
